In the heart of the Cinque Terre, set in a beautiful natural amphitheater protected from the winds, the Buranco estate shows all its simple, but precious, charm to those who reach it by climbing from Monterosso.
Here, Rio Buranco, which gives its name to the property, before flowing into in the intense blue of the sea, goes through a valley that looks really as an anthology of what most characteristic this part of Liguria can offer.
An exceptionally unique environment, three and a half hectares of land cultivated with vineyards, olive groves and lemon trees by the Grillo family, with love and devotion; a choice of excellence in the Cinque Terre, declared by UNESCO "World Heritage Site".
Wine, brandy, oil, lemons and honey are the productions of Buranco. Small volumes for a high quality. All created in the same way. And by the same philosophy: finding a lost time and trying to make it ours again.
And, to fully understand the exceptionality of the place and its products it is really important to know the environmental treasure to which the Buranco gem belongs: the Cinque Terre; a myth that has always been associated with another myth: Sciacchetrà. A wine that comes from a unique viticultural landscape; in "villages" overlooking the sea, on tiny "bands" taken from the mountain with persistent fatigue; where, to speak like the great Veronelli, "crazy angels winemakers" move like acrobats.
